Media allegations that Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has transferred his money to Russia and is seeking asylum are untrue, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Thursday. These “ridiculous reports” require no comment, spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich noted. Some Western media outlets alleged earlier that al-Assad transferred around US$6 billion to Russian bank accounts and plans to seek asylum in Russia.
